Aguas frescas sounds so much more exotic than “fruit juice”, but that’s just what it is. Head south of the border into Mexico (or just into the bordering southern states) and you’re sure to find big glass containers full of the stuff with ladles or spouts jutting out at every farmers market you visit. The jewel-toned beverages are consumed year-round, but their light and fragrant depths say summer.

I love this recipe for making your own Pixie Sticks. Mainly because it gives me the perfect excuse to purchase paper straws, package them up all pretty like, and gift my friends.

I think I’ve mentioned before what a geography nerd I am. Cause I’m a big one, huge. It always baffles me when someone has absolutely no idea where in the U.S. a state lies. Maybe I need to carry around one of these smart magnetic geography maps from Steven Mattern in my bag, then I can just show them instead of rolling my eyes. (via CMYBacon)

I gasped with joy when a yellow promo stapler from poppin showed up on my desk yesterday afternoon. I’d seen the line mentioned in at least one magazine and my interests were piqued. Every piece is sleek and modern with bold monochromatic colors schemes and families. And best of all? Completely reasonably priced. I think I see a new desk set in my near future.

Musical glasses are meant to be played. The graphics are musical notations marking to the level of liquid in the glass that will produce the correct note when the users finger runs around the rim of the glass. Perfect for a dinner party or solo entertainment. (via bltd)

Rice Krispies instead of white rice, fruit leather instead of nori, swedish fish instead of the real thing. I love the idea behind candy sushi.

Drinks with “extras” in them – think mojitos, bloody marys, etc. – require a stirrer that’s sturdy. Not a wimpy little plastic thing or a precious spear of glass. These bamboo stirrers are serious and perfect for the job.
